Did anyone have a blood transfusion in the hospital?

I am wondering who else out there had to have a blood transfusion while in the hospital. 2 days after surgery I had to have one. My hemoglobin was down to 7. After the transfusion, it went back up to 11.6. Still, it seems a little strange to have someone else's blood in you. My Dr. said it wasn't real common to have a transfusion, but I have never been in the "common" range. Let me know!! Angie
